Still have some injuries holding us back
did the release the rest of the league schedule and playoff format yet?
I think this afternoon
If it was just Nash, I would understand the clap back but it's a lot of the league feeling that way about Trae
And got mad when he set a screen and didn't get a call.
He'll eventually get out of this type of play but right now him and Marcus Smart on the defensive end are the biggest floppers in the league
ESPN’s on his ass now too! 
The NBA's savvy moves and the 'innovators' who push the limits of the rulebook
ONE OF TRAE YOUNG'S favorite moves is simple. He gets the ball, calls for a screen and turns the corner, putting his defender on his hip as the help comes over to corral the drive. Once he feels his defender behind, he brake-checks, pulling up into a quick shot.
A little old thing called Newton's first law of motion kicks in: A body in motion remains in motion unless acted upon by a force, i.e., the defender runs helplessly into Young's back.
The whistle blows. The foul is called. Two free throws are given.
Young hit the Brooklyn Nets with the move on Dec. 30. Nets head coach Steve Nash was not a fan.
"That's not basketball!" Nash yelled at the officials.
Nash's criticism went viral, and Young and the Hawks defended the star guard's tactic while others debated and discussed its fairness.
"I learned a lot about drawing fouls from [Nash]," Young told reporters in early January. "If he says it's not basketball, he must've been saying it about himself because he's done it a couple of times throughout his career and was so successful."
Trae Young leaves Nets incensed with his brake-check move
Trae Young continually gets to the free throw line against the Nets by stopping short and causing a defender to run into him.
For his part, Nash said he was just sticking up for his team and trying to gain an edge with the refs. It was a heat-of-competition comment, but he has no real issue with Young's play. Players have constantly been searching for advantages within the game: inventing and reinventing different ways to bend the rules.
"Other guys have pet moves that are there to deceive or to fool not just the defense, but the referees," Nash said. "That's where the game continues to evolve."
Moves like Young's stop-short jumper are crafted, refined and mastered through years of innovation. And like a cartoon rowboat, the league plugs one hole only to find another.
The prevailing feeling around the league: If you're not pushing the boundaries, you're not trying.

Shit is crazy
They hired another teams coach hours after firing their coach
Toronto hasn't complained?
Jerry West, who is believed to be the model for the NBA logo silhouette, says he's happy for the logo to be changed after Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving suggested it should be the late Kobe Bryant

Cacs will put up a fight about this but Jerry West should have been replaced decades ago for a black player.
But....but...70% of the players are black....
White supremacy and politics doesnt exist in the NBA.
Seeing how close West and Kobe was, I think he'll fully endorse Kobe becoming the new logo
Man I ain't even watched a full Rockets game in weeks. I guess as a Rockets fan I've been spoiled knowing that our team wasn't a lottery team for almost a decade. Congrats tho, yall got some good pieces.
Actually I was like why kobe?
but then i remembered it's Jerry West
Kobe is the Jerry West of options.
Eh the heat don't have any all stars
the Celtics have 1 in brown tatum has been playing like trash this year.
Why?
Its probably better they chill out and rest anyway.
Covid fucked Tatum up. He said he's still not himself so they gave him the benefit of the doubt
def cause they can still get it together.
